Rachel Clark was seventeen when she wrote her debut book, How to Save Your Own Life. In this episode of This Voice Is Mine: The Unquiet Podcast, Rachel talks to Dr Emma Offord about growing up as an undiagnosed autistic girl, the years she spent internalising difference as personal failure, and the eating disorder that became the only way she felt she could be heard. Rachel speaks openly about situational mutism, about a treatment system that wasn't built for her brain, and about the nurse who gave her hope when nothing else could. She shares how a late autism identification became a turning point rather than a complication, and why she now believes there is no such thing as too complex, only someone who hasn't yet been properly understood. A conversation about survival, identity and the hope that makes recovery possible.
